Victor Alexander Pearson Jr.

The Obituary Victor Alexander Pearson Jr., son of Jerrie Elaine Bennett and Victor Alexander Pearson Sr., was born Friday, February 27, 1987, at the Osteopathic Hospital in Harrisburg, PA. He was a graduate of Harrisburg High, Class of 2005, and was formerly employed by Big Lots in Union Deposit. Affectionately nicknamed “Wezzie” by his peers, Victor’s genuinely warm personality, infectious smile, generous spirit and the naturally confident way in which he carried himself awarded him many friends and admirers. Victor never met a stranger and was kind to all. As a young man who knew who he was and comfortable in his own skin, those qualities allowed people to be immediately comfortable in his presence when they met him. Little children loved and flocked to him; and being the biggest kid of them all, he’d spend time playing and talking with each one, encouraging them to do well in school and in life. Victor was also a colorful character with his own distinct, personal taste and style. He was well-known for his great love of cars, fine clothing, ball caps, glasses, footwear and jewelry—the best that his hard-earned money could buy. And, if there was anyone in the room with a camera, you can best bet he would be the first one in front of it, styling in one of his many trademark poses—a lot of them shirtless—showing off his numerous tattoos. He knew how to have a good time and did nothing halfway. To Victor, the world was his stage, and he enjoyed every minute of being in the spotlight. But as much as Victor loved to have fun, he also understood the importance of family, hard work, reaching personal goals, finding your passion and living your dream. Possessing a natural gift of rhyme and storytelling and an unwavering belief in himself and his abilities, backed by a strong business sense and an understanding of the importance of controlling and owning your art and product, he produced and recorded on the local, independent label, ROYALTY MUZIK, where he also served as co-founder and immediately got down to work recording several quality tracks and videos with Prosound Studios in Harrisburg, as artist “Lil’ Rad.” These works gained him much popularity and respect among young people in the city, and he handled it all with humility and graciousness. His works can be located at www.youtube.com, and his long-awaited debut CD is expected for release in the coming months. Even with the flurry of activity in his life, Victor always put family first and made time for his friends. He was a devoted father of two young sons, who were also his constant traveling companions, three god-children; a loving partner to his fiancée and mother of his sons; a good son to his parents; a strong and protective brother who loved to pick on and wrestle with his youngest brother in the middle of the night; an adoring grandson; nephew, uncle and a true and faithful friend. Our hearts were shattered in the wee hours of Sunday, December 4, 2011, when Victor made his sudden transition into eternal life. But, he leaves a legacy of love that will remain ever-present in the hearts and minds of the many souls he touched in his lifetime. Victor was predeceased by his maternal grandfather, Jeremiah Bennett; his paternal grandparents, Willa Mae and Curly Watson; and an aunt, Deborah Watson. He leaves to celebrate his life, his two young sons, Victor Alexander Pearson III and Vic-Quan Ky-Seam; his fiancée, Tiffany Daniels; his parents, Jerrie E. Bennett and Victor Alexander Pearson Sr.; three brothers, Kevin K. Pitts Jr., Vincent Allen Pearson and Jordan Bailey; one sister, Cherrelle M. Pearson; three nephews, Brian Colley, Syrell Burgos and Khyler Freeman; his maternal grandmother, Donna L. Fountain; aunts, Holly E. Fountain, Elizabeth Bryant and Veda Mai Brown; three uncles, Kenneth Scott, Henry Bryant and Clyde Watson; three god-children; surrogate aunts, Sheila Bennett, Diteasha Daniels, Aliza Bland-Sykes, Trina Bowman and Erica Tomlinson; a surrogate uncle, Michael Crawford; a host of loving great aunts, cousins and friends.
